Hello everyone

I'm currently living in the north of Italy. After thinking it through after two years of living there, I decided to move to Sicily, but after looking at houses, I'm stuck between Trapani and Marsala. So far, I've been in Trapani for a week, and it seems like a ghost town. On the other hand, I was in Marsala for two days, and it seemed more vibrant, but maybe it was just the times I was out. I would like to know which one you recommend for living in, taking into account things such as:

Quality of life, Cost of living, Life for people in their 30s, Safety and Variety of restaurants, cafes, gym etc.

February (like August) probably isnt the best time to get a feel for a place. Personally I would choose Marsala over Trapani every time, but other wont feel the same. Without Ryanair you get the impression that Trapani would be a ghost town, whereas Marsala seems pretty self sufficient and has enough going on to make it not 100% dependent on tourism.
